I got this because it was one of the products I used two years ago that moisturized my skin without making me oily. However, they came out with a new formula earlier this year. I decided to try it anyways and right off the bat I could tell it was different. The old formula was unscented. I'm sensitive to scents, and the new one smells like strong herbal shampoo. I put it on and it stung a little. Show more

Hmmmm its got an oily consistency, nice smell but thats a minus in my book. Takes FOREVEERRRR to dry. I wouldn’t apply this in the morning unless you have an extra 20 minutes on ur hands since im pretty sure you have to let all products dry before applying sunscreen. Don’t know how true it is but i don’t play about with sunscreen. Maybe I should’ve given it at least 2 months before judging, but Show more
